A legend with mythical power – precision engineering meets pure power
The King of the Round Table gathered his knights around a round table. Perhaps this association led us to our Arthurian drive. The fascination with King Arthur remains unbroken to this day. We want our large-format drive to radiate its fascination for many years to come. Everything is mounted on gimbals. The drive can swing freely in all directions to compensate for vibrations in the ground. Once again, we use our rotating magnetic field – driven by three motors. A total of 220 kilograms want to find a home. Of course, our authorized dealers worldwide will take care of the assembly.

Electronics
Transrotor has a range MM and MC cartridges to suit your turntable needs. From the entry level MM Uccello to the Top-of-Line MC Tamino, Transrotor cartridges are developed in collaboration with renowned cartridge manufacturers to achieve the best sonic performance possible at their respective price point.
Why do we offer a headphone amplifier? Because we can and we have the perfect circuits and components. What’s more, our engineers love this design, which is not dramatically different from a good phono stage.
In the majority of cases, most high-end enthusiasts obtain the sound energy for their headphones via the integrated port on the integrated amplifier or preamplifier. Here, most manufacturers usually install small amps that cannot keep up with our headphone amplifier either in terms of performance or design. We bring the full sound power to your ears.
We also follow a highly honest, audiophile train of thought: our headphone amplifier can be integrated completely passively into an existing chain. The signal is passed on unfiltered. Or the owner can choose the freestyle option: Our headphone amplifier can then replace a complete preamplifier and connect directly to a power amplifier or even mono blocks.
KONSTANT EINS or KONSTANT EINS NERO
The entry into our external power supplies. The two speeds (33 or 45 rpm) are selected at the motor control unit, there is a separate fine adjust for both speeds. Housing made of hand polished aluminum Speeds 33 and 45 rpm
Recommended for Max, Jupiter, ZET 1 (with one engine), Dark Star, Dark Star Reference, Dark Star Silver Shadow

Fully balanced phono preamplifier with storage power supply. Transrotor “flagship“ phonosatge. The sophisticated circuitry with high quality components ensures an extremely fine and precise amplification of MC cartridges. The power supply stores the current like a rechargeable battery (but without the wear and tear) and can also supply the preamplifier with power extremely evenly and quickly. Separate housings for preamplifier and power supply, input and output balanced, XLR connectors
An amplifier for the cartridge signals is indispensable. This is because tiny, fine, sensitive current flows are processed here. On the one hand, it is important to raise these to the exact level required for the preamplifier/integral amplifier. In addition, the codec of the analogue record must also be equalized according to the specified standards. We are professionals and know the specifications and the structure of high-sounding players.
